International Peer Mentoring
International peer mentoring is a newly-introduced sub-group to the Graduate School’s Peer Mentoring program.
International peer mentoring will provide upper level graduate students (both international and domestic) the opportunity to serve as a resource, a helping hand, a sounding board, and a referral service for international graduate students who are just beginning their graduate or professional school experience. More specifically, some international students may be encountering new experiences, and they could benefit from guidance and support. Mentor-mentee relationships are meant to be a source of professional and personal connection to the WashU and St. Louis community.
If you are interested in participating as a mentor or mentee, sign up at https://gradcenter.wustl.edu/international-peer-mentoring-0. If you have questions about the program, contact Christian Gordon at christiandgordon@wustl.edu.
Leadership Development Initiative
Want to help shape the student experience for the graduate and professional student community at Washington University in St. Louis, while also honing your own leadership skills? The Leadership Development Initiative (LDI) offers the opportunity for students to propose projects that promote leadership development among the larger graduate and professional student population.
Potential projects include (1) presentations, panel discussions, or workshops on one or more facets of student leadership, featuring invited speakers, (2) the creation of web-based leadership development resources, (3) peer-to-peer leadership training or training hosted by an outside expert, or (4) locally-focused leadership initiatives that encourage graduate and professional student engagement in the St. Louis community.
Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis. Proposals may request a maximum budget of $500.
